Is there a supreme tech god for Stock and Super/Stock

Alan, you probably feel the same way about the negligible affect of aftermarket seats in Stock too.

Billy, with the advent of 135 MPH cars in Stock Eliminator, I think the safety aspects outweigh the other factors. It's called a "necessary evil". The fast cars in Stock now have to have all of the safety equipment that a fairly fast Super Stock car has. It's not a matter of what you or I want, or what you or I like, it's a matter of safety.

It's a plain simple fact that you can make a Stock Eliminator car as close to perfect on weight distribution as it can legally be without any of those things.

People howl over things that don't matter, while they look over things that do matter. A case of the elephant in the living room.

And on that, I will have to agree with you!
Now, let's start a "meaningful dialog" on the pathetic purses!

Billy, the problem is that it will not be meaningful to NHRA, the people who set the purse and the fees.

But as an example, for a 64 car field in Stock Eliminator, the payout should be $2500 to win. And the entry fee really ought to be $250 for car, driver, and one crew. That would be a payout of ten times the entry fee. For an 100 car field, it ought to be $3000, that would be twelve times the entry fee. At 128 cars, it should pay at least $3750. As the field gets bigger, so should the purse. That's a start, and not at all unreasonable.
